Automated medical diagnosis systems based on knowledge-oriented descriptions have gained momentum with the emergence of Semantic Descriptions. However, soundness and efficiency of the underlying logics in these descriptions are critical to harness the potential of these systems. In this paper, we provide a well-structured ontology for automated diagnosis and a three-fold formalization based on Predicate Logic, Description Logic and Rules.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
